Ren'Py A Tale of One City [v3.7] [Project Blossom]

[Mymy]

Full Disclaimer: I have not played the game, but was interested in it reading the tags. The discussion here made me decide against playing it.

I usually refrain from casting aspersions or pushing my strong opinions on others. but these conversations are too frequent and too annoying!

All I would like to say is I am always disappointed when I see developers apologizing for a story decision they make. Its YOUR game, and YOUR story to tell. You will never create something that everyone likes. Overhauling a story/game to please some people is questioning and denigrating your own creativity. You put in the hard work. Most of the people causing the brouhaha cannot put together a convincing powerpoint, much less develop a game.

If you fix the gameplay or graphics or something else, that's understandable, but as the creator of a story, you should stand by your decisions.

That is all. I wish you success and creative freedom!

Thanks for sharing your ideas!

I agree to the things you've said. However, the game has always been intended to be harem genre from the beginning.
Netori (cheating) has been planned for some of story-paths from the beginning but NTR wasn't really in our grand-scheme.
We did considered having it as a choice path after progressing more with the story but it hasn't been decided yet.

So what happened with the v1.4 is that, with renewal of v1.4, I've changed some of early (tutorial-like) part of the story and I've put some of the scenes not knowing that it'd hurt the harem genre that I've intended to make.


It's my first project in game-making and I've already paid my price with being stubborn. So I try to listen to people more than before.

My biggest goal with this game is to make a enjoyable harem game with much interactive-vibes, something that hasn't been introduced in real-porn game before I think.

And second goal is to make profit that is enough to sustain us to keep the project going.
We aren't being dellusional, dreaming to become a millionaire with this project.

But, last 6 months has been pretty tough since it has been more than a year now and we're barely making less than $1200 per month total even in the most profitable month. So, yeah, we kinda dwindled at times, being too afraid of how user's would react and stuff. But we're trying hard to balance ourselves between being realistic and keeping our creativity alive throughout the project.

So the bottomline is to make just enough profit to be able to work full-time with the game while keep making what we've intended to make from the beginning.

And the game we've always intended to make from the start is a enjoyable harem game with great feel of liveliness of characters in the game.

So, with the NTR thing, even if I assume that we were making more than enough money with the project, our priority is not to hurt the harem identity of the game.

Nonetheless, I'm grateful to get to know you and your message does encourage me a lot and I'll keep on trying to make a good game. Hope you have a good day.

Does anyone have the incest patch anywhere besides mega.nz?

Here you go. It's the up-to-date one I'm pretty sure.

You're already doing a better job then most devs by listening to your audience. It's your first game there are bound to be hiccups here and there.

Hello everybody,
I'm stuck with aunt cherry.

13. Go to adult store - Done
Visit her again another day. (After Sunset)

Nothing is happening. If smeone could help me.

I was stupid I didn't opened the kinky app.

Can it be placed on GoFile? It's just barely too large for free Mega and I never have much luck with the other sites. MixDrop is closest but has a 7 - 18 hour download time... 19 hours if you include the time you spend shutting off the mandatory ads first.

Hey Mymy Have you and the team spoken to your current patrons about the future content in the game namely ntr and the flashbacks, that could create an issue with paying subs to, I'd be more open with them on this if not, just friendly advice since some on this thread have been playing for a while and were surprised with it and kinda upset, anyway this will be the last post I make in this thread, promise, good luck

(Got a reaction that's why I am back then went through the comments again)

posted in Discord but putting it here too. I have 1 current problem and 1 that will be soon for me. 1. I have the apt. with the doc but I dont see a doc office or hospital so how do I keep the appointment? where/when. 2. dont see how to get attractiveness over 50is with clothes and the items from supermarket , yet the girl in the Lib requires 75+ so how do you raise it like you can str and int ?

Has the latest update save button in cheat been removed? My saves from 1.2 are broken and I dont want to start over again...

We'll post the link once we finish uploading it in GoFile.

From our next update, we'll provide update_only files as well.
We couldn't this time as renewal update changed too many things.

We did talked about the changed contents including flashback scenes with one of our Patron in our Patreon post where everyone can read them, but haven't made any official post about it. (We've just recently figured out that this could be really problematic, so we haven't had time to discuss about it in length within the team.)

Since we both are working, I think we'll get to make some time to talk on this matter on this Friday or so.
Could you elaborate more how some of the thread (my post and other posts that people shared) surprised you and made you upset?

You don't need to share them but it'd be really helpful for us to know. If you don't want to post here you can send direct message to me as well. Even if you choose not to, I still appreciate you taking your time to give me a head-up.
Hope you have a great day!

Attractiveness point can only be increased with items. (Cars, Clothes, and Items in supermarket)

Car will give you major points among those, and your character won't have enough money at the starting point.
However, if you progress through the story, you'll get to make some big money.
1st, Jen's 20th event gives you enough money to buy a car. After that, you'll get to earn as much money by seeing Chloe's 13th event.

All the stats are capped and you'll get to increase them by getting you cap upgraded though the story progress. (...-50-75-100-...)
Cherrie's prologue: 25
Kimmy's event 5: 50
Chloe's event 5 : 75
Company event 11: 100


Doctor is in the hospital located in Business district. (the same place where your company is)

Yes, I agree that some of the features in the game isn't quite intuitive as many people ask these questions.
We'll try to make it better with our future updates.

Hope it helped and thanks for sharing your opinion.

Update save button has been removed. I'm sorry. It just wasn't sustainable as it took too much time every month for us and we chose to save the time to make more contents.
But starting from v1.4 you'll get to keep you save for future updates that you won't need it any longer though.
And it's much less grindy with our the renewal.

NOTE: I did not upload it but I've downloaded a number of games from there and never had a problem with it. With the size of many games here, this is the better way to get them, IMO.
